    Summary

    Lily Evans Potter had put quite a bit of effort into her new home and family with James in Godric's Hollow. As a Gryffindor, an inventor and a mother, she was not going to let Voldemort take everything away from her without one heck of a fight. And if, through some accident of magic and time, that fight took her to Camelot 1,500 years ago... so be it.

    Harry, having grown up in a place where people were executed for having magic, knows how to stay safe and unnoticed. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to protect himself, his mother and his Uncle Gaius — whether that’s by using his cunning or his sword. But now some clueless country boy called Merlin has shown up and suddenly Camelot is much more dangerous than it was before. Harry must figure out how to defend against the building threat out there, and whether he wants to take Merlin under his wing… and really, was he ever that obvious?

    Summary

    Throughout their abuse, the Dursleys tried to stomp the magic out of Harry Potter's body, failing to recognise the 4-year old was more than aware of magic, and had learnt some magic from the Dark Lord himself. And he had many interests many wizards lacked, namely time travel, which will take him to a world where magic is persecuted by filthy muggles. Uther Pendragon be warned.

    Summary

    On Arthur's birthday a large group of druids and other magic users are set to be executed. As they are being marched out they start to sing Hoist the Colors, hoping that Emrys will hear their cry and come to their aid. Merlin's magic feels the summons and is unable to resist their cries so he disguises himself as Dragoon to save them.

     

    Inspired by the song Hoist the Colors from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

    Summary

    Of the members of the Round Table who are not already aware of Merlin's magic, I assert that Sir Leon would be the most likely to react well to a reveal of Merlin's magic. This meta details my supporting evidence for this assertion. For the sake of comparison, this work includes a section for each other relevant character, delineating the factors which are likely to affect their sympathy for magic (and Merlin, in particular).

    Summary

    One day, Merlin had yet to stop roaming the earth after centuries spent of his eternal, never-ending, existence. As a witness of life, he has seen and observed many things. He has seen Kingdoms fall, Empires arise, countries be created, divided. Plagues. Wars, peaceful times. All in the same. People he held dear die one after the other, and yet here he prevails, cursed and forced to wait for the arrival of his sole and one true King.

    He is given the choice to go back to the past. A chance was given to him, to change things. He has a new name, a new identity, but he hopes he may be able to make amends. His body might be young, but his mind, magic and soul is old, tired and, overall…Unrestrained. With the knowledge of the future and the power of his magic, will he be able to make a better future, one where the just and those wronged could live peacefully, at the cost of his sanity and own happiness? Perhaps.

    Feelings, however, might be a extremely hard thing to ignore. Even when you're a being made of Magic.

    Summary

    There’s no sign of anyone, no voices, no movement. Even the boring wooden houses with their boring wooden doors and their boring open windows are empty, in an oppressive stillness even Taelin hesitates to shatter.

    Summary

    Merlin loves his forest. The gentle chirping of birds in the morning, the soft moss under his feet, and the sweet critters that inhabit the underbrush. He lives out his days, listening to the trees and playing with the animals. At least, until a small blonde child happened to stumble into his home.
